Make callback promises easier to keep
A quick DM can contain a real customer commitment. Notis can turn a clear callback promise into a JobNimbus task.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Create Task
Tool to create a new task. use when scheduling or tracking tasks linked to contacts or jobs.
Why this helps
A callback agreed in a private message can disappear from view before it gets done.
- Preserve callback commitments beyond the DM thread.
- Keep customer follow-through close to the job record.
- Avoid relying on memory to revisit private messages.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and JobNimbus to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation through the portal or by telling Notis the outcome you want.
- 3Ask Notis in plain language to create a JobNimbus task when a Slack DM clearly promises a customer callback.
- 4Select the direct message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real DM that includes a specific callback commitment.
Questions about this workflow
Does the trigger include channel messages?
This workflow uses Slack's direct message trigger. Channel messages use a separate trigger.
What if a DM only discusses calling someone?
